Disassembly question (bottom end)
 

Those of you that have taken apart your motors for a project answer me this:
How did you seperate the Con rod from the crank after unscrewing the bolts?

I have unscrewed the bolts and the motor is upside down on my stand but the bottom half doesn't move freely. I was thinking about taking a rubber mallet and tapping the threads to release the tension i just want to know if anyone has a better suggestion.
